Ideally the user should not know that they have to apt-get packages that are 
not included within the standard ros install.  The rosinstall tool was made for 
this purpose, but in order to use it, a *.rosinstall file must be added to the 
repository listing the required dependencies.  This will likely happen for all 
stacks moving forward, and may be implemented retroactively for existing demo 
stacks that are used by people.
